Musculoskeletal Syndrome of Menopause
The menopausal transition can be accompanied by changes that affect the joints, muscles, tendons, and overall musculoskeletal health.
Musculoskeletal Syndrome of Menopause is a term used to describe a collection of symptoms and changes that may occur during this stage of life, including joint pain, stiffness, reduced muscle strength, and increased tendon discomfort.
Because these symptoms can also have other causes, a thorough evaluation is important for identifying the specific musculoskeletal problems involved and determining an appropriate treatment approach.
Common Symptoms
Musculoskeletal Changes May Affect
Care Focused on How You Move & Feel.
Musculoskeletal symptoms during the menopausal transition can affect different tissues and present differently from one person to another.
At LifeStem, the focus is on identifying the specific joints, tendons, muscles, or other musculoskeletal structures contributing to your symptoms. Treatment recommendations are then developed around those findings, your activity level, and your individual goals.
Rather than treating menopause itself, LifeStem evaluates the musculoskeletal concerns that may arise during this stage of life.
Comprehensive Evaluation
Your symptoms, movement, activity level, medical history, and areas of discomfort are evaluated to help identify the musculoskeletal structures involved.
PRP Therapy
Platelet-rich plasma uses a concentrated preparation of your own platelets and may be considered for certain joint, tendon, and other musculoskeletal conditions identified during evaluation.
Regenerative Treatment Options
Depending on the condition involved, additional options such as BMAC, A2M, prolotherapy, or micronized adipose tissue may be considered as part of an individualized treatment plan.
Personalized Treatment Planning
Treatment is selected based on the specific condition identified, the tissues involved, your symptoms, functional needs, and the activities you want to maintain or return to.
